M o a Z An? UNETEEB STATES PATENT QFFECE FRED J. SASS, OF PEDRIA, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO CULTER & PROCTOR STOVE 00.,

OF PEORIA, ILLINOIS, A

CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS.

Application filed September 7, 1918.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, FRED J. SAss, a citizen of the United States, a. resident of Peoria, in the county of Peoria and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Stoves or Ranges, of which the following is a specification.

his invention has reference to stoves or ranges, and relates particularly to the con struction of the oven which is elevated above the range proper and connected therewith by an upstanding flue.

y invention resides in the improved front construction of the oven which unites the walls of the inner receptacle with the Walls of the outer casing, and also supports the oven-door.

That the invention may be more fully understood, reference is had to the accom-. panying drawings, in which,-

Figure 1 is a front elevation of the oven, the upstanding supporting flue being omit ted;

Fig. 2 is a front vertical cross-section, as the same would appear, if taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 3;

Fig. 3 is a side vertical cross-section, as

the same would appear, if taken on the line 33 of Fig. 2;

Figs. 4 and 4 show a cross-section, some what similar to Fig. 3, except that it is broken away and the front construction is shown in detail on a much larger scale;

Fig. 5 is a sectional detail in plan, as the same would appear, if taken on the line 5-5, Fig. 4.

Like characters of reference denote corresponding parts throughout the figures.

e oven comprises an inner receptacle 1 and an outer casing 2. The inner receptacle has top and bottom walls 3 and 4, side walls 5 and a rear wall 6. The outer casing has top and bottom walls 7 and 8 spaced from the walls 3 and 4 of the inner receptacle, side walls 9, also spaced from the walls 5 of the inner receptacle, and a rear' wall 10 which is preferably, in juxtaposition to the rear wall 6 of the inner receptacle. The separation of the top and bottom and side walls of the inner receptacle and outer casing, provides a flue 11 around the inner receptacle for the heat to pass. The top wall 7 of the outer casing has a heat egress opening 12, and the lower wall 8 of Specification of Letters Patent.

said outer casing i11 l3.

The top and bottom side walls 9 of the outer casing 2, at the front of the oven, are flanged as at 14:, said flanges being turned inwardly, and mitered at the corners, as will be understood, al though not shown.

he top and bottom walls 3 and 4 and side walls 5 of the inner receptacle 1, at the front of the oven, are flanged as at 15, said flanges being turned outwardly and mitered at the corners, as will be understood, although not shown.

16 designates a, preferably, rectangular front plate to which is united the top and bottom and side walls, of both the inner receptacle and outer casing, by means of bolts 17 passing through the flanges 14 and said plate and secured by nuts 18, and by means of bolts 19 passing through the flanges 15, the plate 16 and also a thimble 20 surrounding the opening to the interior of the inner receptacle, adapted to be closed by the oven door 21 hinged at 22, nuts 23 securing the bolts 19 in place.

The plate 16 overlies the front face of the flanges 14 of the outer casing, and is also flanged as at 24 to extend around and protect the corner edges of the front of the outer casing. Said plate 16 lies behind the flanges 15 of the inner receptacle, so that the thimble 20 overlies the front face of said flanges 15, and said plate is angled so as to protect the corner edges of the front of the inner receptacle.

Uniting the rear walls of the inner receptacle and outer casing, and joining such walls at the front of the oven by the novel means, above described, provides a very rigid oven construction.

To deflect the heat entering the flue 11, through the opening 13 in the bottom wall of the outer casing, so that it will pass entirely around and over the top and bottom and side walls of said inner receptacle, and out through the opening 12 in the upper wall of said outer casing, I provide the deflecting plate 21, set in the flue l1 beneath the bottom wall 4 of the inner receptacle, the rear of said plate 21 being bent downwardly and lying against the rear wall 10 of the outer casing. The front portion of said plate 21 is bolted, by means of bolts walls 7 and 8, and

22 and nuts 23 to ears 24 extending inwardly from the front plate 16. Depending from the deflecting plate 21 and centered immediately above the opening 13 in the bottrnn' wall of the outer casing, 18 a prefer member 25, the

ably inverted cone" shaped function of which is very clearly shown, in Fi s. 2 and 3.

, t is obvious that various changes may be inade in the construction of the oven, without departing from; the spirit. andscope of the invention, and I, therefore, do not wish to be: limited, except; as specifically set forth s an inner receptacle having walled rear ends in uxtapositi on, open front. ends, and spaced 1' relatively toeach other to provide a flue is'aidrefceptaelaiithe wa same and connected to .inner 'receptacleand outer casing, a; thirnblein the appended claims.
